'Lace Up Next Time': NC State Sends Message to UNC

Caleb Wilson was in street clothes Tuesday, sidelined for the second straight game with a fracture in his left hand.

Lucas: UNC vs. NC State Rapid Reactions

Regardless of the available personnel, the Tar Heels simply didn't play well enough offensively, defensively, or competitively to win the game. They hoisted 33 of their 60 shots from three-point range on a night they made just five of those trifectas (15.2 percent). UNC was decent from two, 14-for-27, but didn't consistently try to score from that range. (GoHeels.com)
